If you use your Google or Apple account to sign in,
- Ensure you are logged into your Google or Apple account in your browser.

Try signing in using your browser's incognito or private mode, which disables extensions and uses a clean session:
- In Chrome: Open a new incognito window with Ctrl+Shift+N.
- In Firefox: Open a new private window with Ctrl+Shift+P.
- In Edge: Open a new InPrivate window with Ctrl+Shift+N.
